● Urinary health
Cystitis and urinary symptoms
Burning when passing urine, urgency and frequency can often be assessed online. Kidney-area pain, fever, pregnancy, male urinary symptoms or recurrent infections may need testing or examination.
What the doctor reviews
- Symptoms, duration and previous infections
- Pregnancy possibility, allergies and current medicines
- Warning signs that may indicate kidney infection
- Whether urine testing or in-person care is safer
Treatment
Treatment depends on the clinical assessment. Antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin or fosfomycin are only considered when appropriate; the medicine and dose are never automatic.
